Police say a masked man with a gun jumped a counter at the Rite Aid Pharmacy on Pearl Street and demanded drugs from pharmacists Tuesday night.

Police said the man entered the store around 9 p.m. wearing a black ski mask and brandishing a handgun. After filling a white plastic bag with drugs from behind the counter, police said the man went down a back hallway to an emergency door that opened onto Crescent Avenue.

Police said the man got into a waiting pickup truck, described as a gray Toyota Tacoma. A nearby resident gave police a license plate number and description of the truck.

Police described the robber as a white man about six feet tall. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a black ski mask, green hooded sweatshirt and gloves.

Police did not say what kinds of drugs were stolen. No one was injured in the robbery.
